Nexxus

The Nexxus Regimen Diagnosis tool was an offline web app I helped work on during my time at Razorfish, between February and June. The app itself was built using AppCache to run offline within Selfridges, as well as run embedded in other third-party sites.

The app was built on top of a CMS platform which generated a selection of suggested hair products from the user's choices and a product matrix. The app itself runs off a generated AppCache manifest and uses a LocalStorage adapter to run offline and in-store as a homescreen app. Images were base64 encoded before caching.

I was called in to help finish off the remaining development to launch the app, as well as help set up building and deployment integration using Git, Slack and Grunt together with Jira. This helped streamline building and releasing into a more agile workflow. We used Git Flow to manage new features and hotfix production code.

The platform had it's challenges and is the biggest offline app I've worked on to date, but solving problems is one of the reasons I love my job!
